Well, first of all the torque converter has two slots that will need to line up exactly with input shaft. However, the inner splines that are connected to the torque converter should be lined up with the splines of the torque converter of the input shaft.
To line up the torque converter to the flywheel, first, ensure that the torque converter is fully seated into the transmission pump. Then, align the converter's mounting holes with the flywheel's holes, ensuring that the converter is positioned properly so that it engages the engine's flexplate or flywheel correctly. Rotate the engine by hand if necessary to align the bolt holes, and then securely fasten the torque converter to the flywheel with the appropriate bolts. Finally, double-check that the converter is not binding and that it spins freely.
pull engine, unbolt torque converter from flex plate (3 bolts), fill new torque converter with ATF fluid(so it dont start up dry), place new torque converter on to the transmission input shaft, reinstall engine, from underneath now u can spin the engine over by hand to line up the bolt holes and tighten the torque converter to the flexplate.
If you're talking about a TH400 transmission, yes... the TH350 torque converter is one inch smaller in diameter than the TH400 torque converter (12" vs 13"), and you'll have to make sure the holes on the flexplate line up (or drill them for both patterns). You'll get a bit more stall out of the 350 converter. If you're talking about the 700R4, the answer is going to be no.... that uses a lockup converter, which will not interchange with the TH converter.
If the torque converter bolts on a 1995 GMC 3500 with a 350 engine aren't lining up after an engine swap, it could be due to misalignment of the torque converter or the flexplate. Ensure that the torque converter is fully seated in the transmission and that the flexplate is properly aligned. Additionally, check if the correct torque converter and flexplate combination is being used, as variations in part design may also affect alignment. Lastly, inspect for any obstructions or damaged components that may prevent proper installation.
Sure it needs one. Off-line start up cannot be done without some kind of clutch mechanisms. Be it manual disc clutch or torque-converter as in automatic transmissions. Since CVT is managed by in conjunction with computer controlled system torque-converter is basicly applied in cars. Some cars or similar manufacturing complex machines use disc clutch. But in cars it is life-long tested Torque-Converter, unless electric motor is the prime mover but since electric-motors are very flexible and doesn't require it in long-range band so logical one to couple is CVT with Torque-Converter.
It is easier to do if you install the torque convertor to the transmission and then attempt to bolt it to the flywheel. You will have to turn the convertor or flywheel to line up the bolt holes.
The torque converter is between the engine and transmission, meaning, that if you want to replace the torque converter, you will need to either remove the engine or transmission or both. There is typically a standard shop fee for removing and replacing the engine, typically a few hundred dollars. Most transmission shops will tell you that it's not a good idea to just replace the torque converter; they don't typically represent the only point of failure in an automatic transmission, and if there has been wear on the torque converter shaft, it's typically because the bearing has worn and there has been inadequate transmission maintenance. A worn torque converter typically corresponds to a worn hydraulic pump which will result in low pressure, and weak shifting control. If the hydraulic pressure is low, clutches will not be held in place firmly, allowing a little slipping of the clutches and excessive wear. The bottom line is, you probably won't get out replacing just a torque converter. But if you do, a replacement torque converter will be another couple hundred dollars beyond R&R the engine/transmission.
Yes, the Nissan Maxima is the top of the line Nissan car and comes with a V6 engine. The Nissan Altima comes with either a 4 cyl. or a V6. They are both front wheel drive cars.
If the holes do not line up, you got a torque converter for the wrong year (after 1994), or you will need a flex-plate to match. I bought the torque converter from a trusted transmission parts place.. 2 bolts go in just fine the other 2 are off by like an 8th of an inch
if the bolts line up but u'll have to replace flywheel or the torque converter, check spacing of bolts
spin the wheel and torque the nut to 50ftlb and then back off castle nut to line up cotter pin hole
the stall speed of the converter really has no bearing on trans shifting firmness. Of course with higher rpms, there should be higher line pressure which will cause shifts be firmer and hold with higher torque demand. Soft sluggish shifts can be a sign or worn components or overall low line pressure. Also you can adjust TV pressure a little-can help firm up shifts but will usually increase rpms before shifts as well.
